Hi Guys
I’d like to use your plugin for a new company that is running 5 recurring morning events, each at one separate location within about a 20 mile radius. Each individual event will be held every 3 weeks at the same place and be the same format etc. If users only want to come to one event/group once every 3 weeks and not go to the other 4 then the event is free. This would then be their ‘home group/event’ and they would only go to that one. However if users want the ability to go to all 5 (e.g. 5 separates events at different locations over a 3 week period) they would need to pay a monthly fee of £7. Therefore we’d like a number of ‘membership levels’ whereby the system allows users paying £7 to book in at any event they like and restricts those that don’t pay from only booking into their home group. Would your plugin support this via it’s existing functionality?
Thanks a lot, Mark

HI Mark,
How are you today?
How would your website know which event is their ‘home group/event’, so they can attend for free and how many times they attended in a consecutive period? That is pretty complicated logic to track their attendance for one location (not other locations), then determine the price of a ticket.
With the WP User Integration with Event Espresso 4, you could possibly set a capability required in order for people to purchase a ticket, but then you would still have to build a system for managing your logic and updating an individuals capabilities for their account on your website.

Hey Garth
I’m good thanks. I was thinking when they create an account and go to their first event they could pick from a dropdown to choose their home venue/group. It’s more the venue/group that is significant, as opposed to the events that are held there from week to week. Each venue/group will have recurring events so I assume that venue/group will have some kind of ID we can track and use.
Hope that makes more sense?
🙂

Hi Mark,
That sort of system is outside of EE’s capabilities, though in theory it could be custom developed by a seasoned PHP developer.
Garth’s idea of using roles would definitely be easier: get the user to choose a home base when they register and the Role they get given would have a specific custom capability tailored to that location. Then you can use the EE4 WP User integration addon to provide access to that event if they have the special capability.
This will mean each event will need to have the appropriate capabilities tied to it.
If they want access to all, then they need the next level of membership.
As such you will likely need 2 roles per event (a non paying role per location and a paying role per location (you could use a single role, but I was thinking it might be easier to have separate in case of downgrading).
